Homemade Playdough

I recently found a recipe for homemade playdough on the website for Nick Jr. I also recently found out that my 3yr old son has an obsession with playdough. His imagination comes up with infamous possibilities for the little doughy blobs he makes. So...........here's the recipe.

Mix 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, and 1 cup of hot water together in a large mixing bowl.
Add your choice of food coloring. (Clark's picked his favorite color.)
Mix until the color is evenly distributed.
(It looks like he's about to eat it. I promise he's not. He just likes to fill up cups with playdough.)
Enjoy!!!

P.S. This is a lot stickier than store bought playdough.

My first blog

I've never written a blog before. I never even really had a journal growing up. I had 5 siblings and an extremely close relatinship with my parents, so if I needed something out I just talked about it to one of the many people that was around. I still have that relationship with all of my family, but now we all have our own families and jobs so it's not always possible to get somebody on the phone. So I guess this blog is my way of having "someone" to talk to at all hours of the day because I have so very many things to talk about. I am a wife and a stay at home mother of 2 adorable kids. I also babysit kids at my house. If you don't have kids then you have no idea the amount of funny/frustrating/disasterous/beautiful things they can do.
Well, here goes blogging!
